Statement March 2023

My work presented here was produced beginning in 2019 to present, working with plate glass mirror with a pourpose of creating unique objects of art. My current aesthetic / style began in 2011 from 2005, the starting point of my effort to develope the techniques for creating texture and imprinting patterns in plate glass mirror. Developing a definitive style followed new techniques delivered by way of experimentation and discovery. New materials, adjustments for application, trial and much error led to specific ways of applying newly discovered techniques to include four styles for my work. Texture, Landscape, Moasic and Narritive Abstract’s, the current / recent work presented here on my website.

My conceptual influence and philosophy for my work follows Postmodernism and when starting a new piece, at this moment in time I have determined the style although color and form are not controlled by my determination to create anything that would resemble an exact representation of the natural world, or heavens, although perhaps a view through the looking glass into another world. I want to hide objective reasoning, where subjective reason might stand in the forefront of the viewers discretion determining a personal narrative. Art courts the physic, most respond to color emotionally, and or imagine. Color, form, symbols, culture and experience, we reason and feel through subjective and then after perhaps an objective response presents itself to the viewer. These windows of abstract color and form are a behind the looking glass experience, a subconcious photo mosaic where neuroscience and imagination create opportunity for personal introspection, consideration of other dimensions, life just out side of our present existence. Wherein our bodies are a composite of all elements of our universe and when looking through the glass, in this reflection one might consider the origin of our existence, we see ourselves in the art, a reflection of creation.
